With Daylight Savings approaching, explore a whimsical journey through AI-generated images of sleeping subjects, from goths at IHOP to stormtroopers on the Death Star. What started as a simple task to generate an image of a sleeping person turned into an amusing exploration of how artificial intelligence interprets various sleeping scenarios.
Sleep. Can we ever get enough of it?
With Daylight Savings upon us this coming weekend, sadly a lot of us are going to get a little less of it.
Recently our Orchestra work required us to generate a photo of a person sleeping. Seems simple enough, right? Here's how it went:
a natural, unposed, overhead, close-up photo of a dark-haired middle aged woman of medium build sleeping contentedly in a bed.
Not great! When the team gets a prompt that comes up with some truly rotten images it's like someone threw chum in an ocean full of sharks. Let's see just how weird images of sleeping can get, using some of our classic characters and prompts.

That's it for this week!
